Detailed implementation mode

[0071] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0072] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned accompanying drawings are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0073] In this specification, for convenience, terms indicating orientation or positional relationships such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are used to describe the positional relationships of the constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this specification and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements are appropriately changed according to the directions of the described constituent elements. Therefore, it is not limited to the terms described in the specification, and can be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.

[0074] In this specification, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", and "couple" shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate member, or the internal communication of two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the circumstances.

[0075] A wafer inspection device is an important device for testing and characterizing semiconductor devices and can test the performance of integrated circuit devices on a wafer.

[0076] A wafer inspection device generally includes components such as a cassette, a transport structure, a test bench, and probes. The cassette is used to store wafers. During the operation of the wafer inspection device, the transport structure is used to take out the wafers to be tested from the cassette and transport the wafers to the test bench for inspection. The transport structure can also remove the inspected wafers from the test bench and put the inspected wafers back into the cassette. Among them, the transport structure includes but is not limited to a robotic structure. The test bench is used to carry the wafer and perform inspections. The probes are arranged above the test bench and are used to contact the wafer to perform electrical performance tests on the wafer.

[0077] However, there are currently many types of wafers. A set of wafer detection devices usually needs to be able to test multiple types of wafers, and the wafers are often offset in the position where they are stored in the cassette. Therefore, before the wafer detection device tests the wafer, it is necessary to perform pre-alignment on the wafer to accurately identify and calibrate the model and position of the wafer, so as to ensure that the wafer detection device can accurately match and test the wafer.

[0078] However, during the process of wafer manufacturing, some wafers will warp and deform. During the process of wafer detection, warped and deformed wafers are not conducive to the positioning, barcode scanning, and subsequent detection steps of wafer pre-alignment. In the related art, conventional wafer detection devices cannot effectively position and detect warped and deformed wafers.

[0079] In view of this, to solve the above problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of a wafer detection device provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 which is a schematic structural diagram of a suction and flattening structure provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 which is a schematic structural diagram of a suction and flattening structure removing the carrier plate provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 which is a top view structural diagram of a suction and flattening structure provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 which is a schematic structural diagram of a lifting and rotating module provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0080] The present application provides a suction and flattening structure 100 for wafers to solve the technical problem that in the related art, conventional wafer detection devices cannot effectively position and detect warped and deformed wafers.

[0081] The wafer sucking and aligning structure 100 includes a bottom plate 10, a carrier plate 20, a lifting and rotating module 30, a wafer sucking module 40, and an aligning module 50. The carrier plate 20 is disposed on the bottom plate 10 and spaced apart from the bottom plate 10, and the carrier plate 20 is used for carrying a wafer. The lifting and rotating module 30 is disposed on the bottom plate 10. The lifting and rotating module 30 includes a rotating mechanism 32 and a lifting mechanism 31. The rotating mechanism 32 is used for carrying the wafer and driving the wafer to rotate relative to the bottom plate 10. The lifting mechanism 31 is used for carrying the rotating mechanism 32 and driving the rotating mechanism 32 to reciprocate along a first direction D1, and the first direction D1 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 10. The wafer sucking module 40 is disposed on the bottom plate 10. The wafer sucking module 40 at least partially penetrates through the carrier plate 20 and the bottom plate 10. The wafer sucking module 40 is used for carrying and sucking flat the wafer, and the wafer sucking module 40 can reciprocate along the first direction D1 to suck the wafer flat on the carrier plate 20. The aligning module 50 is disposed on the bottom plate 10. The aligning module 50 includes a first aligning mechanism 51, a second aligning mechanism 52, a third aligning mechanism 53, and a fourth aligning mechanism 54. The first aligning mechanism 51, the second aligning mechanism 52, the third aligning mechanism 53, and the fourth aligning mechanism 54 are arranged around the carrier plate 20 and are respectively disposed around the carrier plate 20. The first aligning mechanism 51, the second aligning mechanism 52, the third aligning mechanism 53, and the fourth aligning mechanism 54 can all be used to move along the side close to the center of the carrier plate 20 to align the wafer on the carrier plate 20.

[0082] The wafer sucking and aligning structure 100 can be but is not limited to being applied to a wafer detection device 1000 to suck and align the wafer so that the wafer can perform corresponding positioning, scanning, and subsequent detection steps. It should be noted that when the wafer sucking and aligning structure 100 is applied to the wafer detection device 1000, the transportation structure 200 of the wafer detection device 1000 can be used to first transport the wafer from the material box to the wafer sucking and aligning structure 100, and then the wafer sucking and aligning structure 100 performs corresponding operations such as sucking and aligning on the wafer. Moreover, after the wafer performs operations such as sucking and aligning, the transportation structure 200 can also move the wafer out of the wafer sucking and aligning structure 100, and the present application does not limit this.

[0083] Specifically, the suction and leveling structure 100 includes a bottom plate 10, and the bottom plate 10 can be used to support the carrier plate 20, the lifting and rotating module 30, the suction and leveling module 40, the leveling module 50 and other structural parts. It should be noted that the bottom plate 10 includes but is not limited to being a part of the frame of the wafer detection device 1000 or being fixed on the frame of the wafer detection device 1000, and this application does not limit this.

[0084] The carrier plate 20 is disposed on the bottom plate 10 and is spaced apart from the bottom plate 10. Specifically, the carrier plate 20 is fixed to the bottom plate 10 through a plurality of support columns and is spaced apart from the bottom plate 10. The carrier plate 20 is used to carry the wafer. The carrier plate 20 and the bottom plate 10 are spaced apart to form a receiving gap, and the receiving gap can be used to receive part of the lifting and rotating module 30, part of the leveling module 40, and part of the setting module 50.

[0085] The lifting and rotating module 30 is fixed on the bottom plate 10, and the lifting and rotating module 30 is fixedly connected to the side of the bottom plate 10 away from the carrying plate 20. Specifically, the lifting and rotating module 30 includes a lifting mechanism 31 and a rotating mechanism 32, the lifting mechanism 31 is fixed to the side of the bottom plate 10 away from the carrying plate 20, the rotating mechanism 32 is fixed on the lifting mechanism 31, the lifting mechanism 31 is used to carry the rotating mechanism 32, and the lifting mechanism 31 can drive the rotating mechanism 32 to reciprocate along the first direction D1.

[0086] The rotating mechanism 32 is used to carry the wafer, and the rotating module can be used to drive the wafer to rotate around the axis of the rotating module to adjust the circumferential position of the wafer, so as to facilitate the pre-alignment positioning, code scanning, and subsequent detection steps of the wafer. Specifically, the rotating mechanism 32 passes through the bottom plate 10 and the carrier plate 20, and the rotating mechanism 32 can be used to expose the carrier plate 20 and receive the wafer above the carrier plate 20.

[0087] Further, in this embodiment, a first through hole 11 is provided on the bottom plate 10. The first through hole 11 can be used for passing through the rotation module. Moreover, a second through hole 21 is provided on the carrier plate 20. The second through hole 21 is arranged corresponding to the first through hole 11, that is, the second through hole 21 coincides with the first through hole 11 in the first direction D1. The second through hole 21 can also be used for passing through the rotation module. In other words, the rotation module passes through the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 21 in sequence, penetrates the bottom plate 10 and the carrier plate 20 through the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 21, and carries the wafer on the carrier plate 20 through the second through hole 21. It should be noted that the radial dimension of the wafer is larger than the radial dimension of the second through hole 21, so that the wafer can be placed on the carrier plate 20 without falling from the second through hole 21. And the radial dimensions of the second through hole 21 and the first through hole 11 are larger than the radial dimension of the rotation module, so that the rotation module can carry the wafer on the carrier plate 20 through the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 21.

[0088] The suction and flattening and aligning structure 100 provided by the present application further includes the suction and flattening module 40. At least a part of the suction and flattening module 40 penetrates through the carrier plate 20 and the bottom plate 10, and the suction and flattening module 40 can reciprocate along the first direction D1. Specifically, the suction and flattening module 40 can move along the first direction D1 to above the carrier plate 20 to carry and flatten the wafer. Moreover, the suction and flattening module 40 can also drive the wafer to move in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 to place the flattened wafer on the carrier plate 20, which can ensure the flatness of the wafer and facilitate operations such as pre-aligning positioning and scanning code of the wafer.

[0089] The suction and flattening and aligning structure 100 provided by the present application further includes the aligning module 50. The first aligning mechanism 51, the second aligning mechanism 52, the third aligning mechanism 53 and the fourth aligning mechanism 54 of the aligning module 50 are all arranged on the bottom plate 10, and the first aligning mechanism 51, the second aligning mechanism 52, the third aligning mechanism 53 and the fourth aligning mechanism 54 surround the carrier plate 20 and are respectively arranged around the carrier plate 20. The first aligning mechanism 51, the second aligning mechanism 52, the third aligning mechanism 53 and the fourth aligning mechanism 54 can all be used to move along the side close to the center of the carrier plate 20 to align the wafer on the carrier plate 20, which can center the larger-sized wafer, effectively correct the position of the wafer, and facilitate subsequent steps such as transporting and detecting the wafer.

[0090] Further, asFigure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first alignment mechanism 51, the second alignment mechanism 52, the third alignment mechanism 53, and the fourth alignment mechanism 54 are arranged around the carrier plate 20 in the clockwise direction, and the first alignment mechanism 51 and the third alignment mechanism 53 are arranged at intervals relative to each other, and the second alignment mechanism 52 and the fourth alignment mechanism 54 are arranged at intervals relative to each other.

[0091] In the suction and alignment structure 100 provided in the present application, the carrier plate 20 is arranged on the bottom plate 10 and is spaced from the bottom plate 10. The lifting and rotating module 30 is arranged on the bottom plate 10. The lifting and rotating module 30 includes the rotating mechanism 32 and the lifting mechanism 31. The rotating mechanism 32 is used to carry the wafer and drive the wafer to rotate relative to the bottom plate 10. The lifting mechanism 31 is used to carry the rotating mechanism 32 and drive the rotating mechanism 32 to reciprocate along the first direction D1. The suction and flattening module 40 is arranged on the bottom plate 10. The suction and flattening module 40 at least partially penetrates the carrier plate 20 and the bottom plate 10. The suction and flattening module 40 is used to carry and flatten the wafer. The suction and flattening module 40 can reciprocate along the first direction D1 to flatten the wafer on the carrier plate 20. The alignment module 50 is arranged on the bottom plate 10. The alignment module 50 includes a first alignment mechanism 51, a second alignment mechanism 52, a third alignment mechanism 53, and a fourth alignment mechanism 54. The first alignment mechanism 51, the second alignment mechanism 52, the third alignment mechanism 53, and the fourth alignment mechanism 54 are arranged around the carrier plate 20 and are respectively arranged around the periphery of the carrier plate 20. The first alignment mechanism 51, the second alignment mechanism 52, the third alignment mechanism 53, and the fourth alignment mechanism 54 can all be used to move along the side close to the center of the carrier plate 20 to align the wafer on the carrier plate 20. The suction and flattening module 40 can drive the wafer to move in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 to place the wafer flat on the carrier plate 20, which can ensure the flatness of the wafer and facilitate operations such as pre-aligning positioning and scanning the wafer. The alignment module 50 can align the wafer on the carrier plate 20 to center the large-sized wafer, effectively correct the position of the wafer, and facilitate subsequent steps such as transporting and detecting the wafer.

[0092] It should be noted that in this embodiment, during the process of the wafer detection device 1000 detecting the wafer, when the transportation structure 200 transports the wafer to the suction and alignment structure 100, the overall working process of the suction and alignment structure 100 is as follows.

[0093] First, the lifting and rotating module 30 moves from the first position to the second position along the first direction D1. The lifting and rotating module 30 is used to absorb and carry the wafer. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, Figure 6 This is a structural diagram of a lifting and rotating module in the second position provided by an embodiment of the present application Figure 1 , Figure 7 This is a structural diagram of a lifting and rotating module in the second position provided by an embodiment of the present application Figure 2 .

[0094] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 31 of the lifting and rotating module 30 moves along the first direction D1 and drives the rotating mechanism 32 to move, so that the rotating mechanism 32 on the lifting mechanism 31 can move to the bottom of the wafer and receive and adsorb the wafer.

[0095] For further information, please refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 31 includes a lifting fixed plate 311, a lifting motor 312, a lifting guide rail 313 and a sliding seat 314. The lifting fixed plate 311 is arranged on the side of the bottom plate 10 away from the carrying plate 20. The lifting guide rail 313 is extended along the first direction D1 and arranged on the lifting fixed plate 311. The sliding seat 314 is arranged on the lifting guide rail 313 and can reciprocate along the first direction D1 relative to the lifting guide rail 313. The output shaft of the lifting motor 312 is connected to the sliding seat 314 and drives the sliding seat 314 to reciprocate along the first direction D1. In addition, the rotating mechanism 32 is arranged on the sliding seat 314 and moves back and forth along the first direction D1 following the sliding seat 314.

[0096] Among them, the first position and the second position of the lifting and rotating module 30 include but are not limited to referring to the first position and the second position of the sliding seat 314 or the rotating mechanism 32. The movement of the lifting and rotating module 30 from the first position to the second position along the first direction D1 includes but is not limited to referring to the movement of the sliding seat 314 or the rotating mechanism 32 from the first position to the second position along the first direction D1. Further, a lifting induction piece 315 is provided on the sliding seat 314, and the lifting induction piece 315 can move along the first direction D1 with the sliding seat 314. A first position detector 316 and a second position detector 317 are provided at intervals on the lifting fixing plate 311. When the lifting and rotating module 30 is in the first position, the sliding seat 314 is in the first position, and the lifting induction piece 315 on the sliding seat 314 corresponds to and triggers the detection of the first position detector 316. The first position detector 316 outputs a corresponding detection signal to the controller so that the controller can perform subsequent control or prompt the user that the position of the rotating mechanism 32 is the first position at this time. When the sliding seat 314 and the rotating mechanism 32 of the lifting and rotating module 30 move from the first position to the second position along the first direction D1, the lifting induction piece 315 on the sliding seat 314 corresponds to and triggers the detection of the second position detector 317. The second position detector 317 outputs a corresponding detection signal to the controller so that the controller can perform subsequent control or prompt the user that the position of the rotating mechanism 32 is the second position at this time.

[0097] Second, the lifting and rotating module 30 moves to the third position along the reverse direction of the first direction D1.

[0098] Among them, the movement of the lifting and rotating module 30 to the third position along the reverse direction of the first direction D1 includes but is not limited to referring to the third position of the sliding seat 314 or the rotating mechanism 32. The movement of the lifting and rotating module 30 to the third position along the reverse direction of the first direction D1 includes but is not limited to referring to the movement of the sliding seat 314 or the rotating mechanism 32 to the third position along the reverse direction of the first direction D1.

[0099] It should be noted that when the lifting and rotating module 30 moves to the third position in the opposite direction of the first direction D1, the distance between the wafer on the lifting and rotating module 30 and the carrier plate 20 is 4 mm - 6 mm. Optionally, when the lifting and rotating module 30 moves to the third position in the opposite direction of the first direction D1, the distance between the wafer on the lifting and rotating module 30 and the carrier plate 20 can be 4.1 mm, or 4.2 mm, or 4.5 mm, or 4.8 mm, or 5.0 mm, or 5.3 mm, or 5.4 mm, or 5.7 mm, or 5.9 mm, or 6 mm, or other values within 4 mm - 6 mm.

[0100] The rotating mechanism 32 moves to the third position in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 to drive the wafer carried on the rotating mechanism 32 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction D1, so as to shorten the distance between the wafer and the carrier plate 20, facilitating the subsequent lifting and adsorption of the wafer by the flattening mechanism.

[0101] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first direction D1 is the vertically upward direction, and the opposite direction of the first direction D1 is the vertically downward direction. The present application does not limit this.

[0102] Third, the flattening module 40 moves to the first flattening position along the first direction D1, and the flattening module 40 is used to adsorb the wafer on the lifting and rotating module 30. Specifically, that is, the flattening module 40 rises along the first direction D1 and abuts against the wafer, so that the flattening module 40 can adsorb the wafer. As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, Figure 8 is a schematic structure of the lifting and rotating module in the third position and the flattening module in the first flattening position provided by the embodiment of the present application Figure 1 , Figure 9 is a schematic structure of the lifting and rotating module in the third position and the flattening module in the first flattening position provided by the embodiment of the present application Figure 2 .

[0103] Fourth, the flattening module 40 moves from the first flattening position in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 to the second flattening position, which is used to flatten the wafer on the carrier plate 20.

[0104] Specifically, the flattening module 40 moves in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 to the second flattening position to place the wafer on the carrier plate 20. At this time, the flattening module 40 adsorbs the periphery of the wafer, and then flattens the wafer relative to the carrier plate 20 to achieve flattening the wafer on the carrier plate 20. It should be noted that flattening the wafer on the carrier plate 20, in other words, means flattening the wafer relative to the carrier plate 20. In other words, it means making the wafer as parallel as possible to the carrier plate 20 to improve the flatness of the wafer surface, and then facilitating the subsequent code scanning device 300 to scan the pattern on the wafer to identify features such as the type and size of the wafer.

[0105] Fifth, after the alignment mechanism of the alignment module 50 (including the first alignment mechanism 51, the second alignment mechanism 52, the third alignment mechanism 53, and the fourth alignment mechanism 54) moves to the first alignment position along the side where the lifting and rotating module 30 is located, the flattening module 40 releases the wafer, and then the alignment mechanism of the alignment module 50 moves to the second alignment position for aligning the wafer.

[0106] After the alignment mechanism of the alignment module 50 moves to the first alignment position along the side where the lifting and rotating module 30 is located, the flattening module 40 releases the wafer. Some structures of the alignment mechanism can be used to prevent large - scale warping of the periphery of the wafer. The specific anti - warping structure will be described in detail later, and this application does not limit it.

[0107] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the setting mechanism of the setting module 50 moves along the side close to the lifting and rotating module 30 to the first setting position. In other words, the first setting mechanism 51, the second setting mechanism 52, the third setting mechanism 53, and the fourth setting mechanism 54 of the setting module 50 all move along the side close to the center of the carrier plate 20, and move to a position where the distance between the first setting mechanism 51, the second setting mechanism 52, the third setting mechanism 53, the fourth setting mechanism 54 and the wafer is between 3 mm and 5 mm. In other words, the first setting position is the position where the distance between the first setting mechanism 51, the second setting mechanism 52, the third setting mechanism 53, the fourth setting mechanism 54 and the wafer is between 3 mm and 5 mm. Optionally, the first setting position may be a position where the distance between the first setting mechanism 51, the second setting mechanism 52, the third setting mechanism 53, the fourth setting mechanism 54 and the wafer is 3 mm, or 3.1 mm, or 3.3 mm, or 3.5 mm, or 3.8 mm, or 4.0 mm, or 4.2 mm, or 4.4 mm, or 4.6 mm, or 4.7 mm, or 4.9 mm, or other values within 3 mm - 5 mm.

[0108] After the wafer is released by the flattening module 40, the setting mechanism of the setting module 50 moves to the second setting position to set the wafer, which can prevent the flattening module 40 from adsorbing the wafer and hindering the setting of the wafer when the setting mechanism sets the wafer.

[0109] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the setting mechanism of the setting module 50 moves along the side close to the lifting and rotating module 30 to the second setting position. In other words, the first setting mechanism 51, the second setting mechanism 52, the third setting mechanism 53, and the fourth setting mechanism 54 of the setting module 50 all move along the side close to the center of the carrier plate 20, and move until the first setting mechanism 51, the second setting mechanism 52, the third setting mechanism 53, and the fourth setting mechanism 54 abut against the wafer. The first setting mechanism 51, the second setting mechanism 52, the third setting mechanism 53, and the fourth setting mechanism 54 are respectively arranged around the wafer and abut against the wafer to limit the wafer within the setting space formed by the first setting mechanism 51, the second setting mechanism 52, the third setting mechanism 53, and the fourth setting mechanism 54, so as to realize the setting of the wafer.

[0110] Please refer to Figures 2 to 9, in one embodiment, the tuning module 50 further includes a tuning driving mechanism 60. The tuning driving mechanism 60 is configured to drive the first tuning mechanism 51, the second tuning mechanism 52, the third tuning mechanism 53, and the fourth tuning mechanism 54 to move along the side close to the center of the carrier plate 20. Optionally, the specific structure of the tuning driving mechanism 60 will be described in detail later, and the present application does not limit this.

[0111] Specifically, the tuning driving mechanism 60 is connected to the first tuning mechanism 51 and is configured to drive the first tuning mechanism 51 to move along the second direction D2 (as shown in the second direction D2 Figure 4 shown) and its reverse direction. Wherein, the first tuning mechanism 51 moving along the second direction D2 is moving along the side close to the center of the carrier plate 20, and the first tuning mechanism 51 moving along the reverse direction of the second direction D2 is moving along the side away from the center of the carrier plate 20.

[0112] The tuning driving mechanism 60 is connected to the second tuning mechanism 52 and is configured to drive the second tuning mechanism 52 to move along the third direction D3 (as shown in the third direction D3 Figure 4 shown) and its reverse direction. Wherein, the second tuning mechanism 52 moving along the third direction D3 is moving along the side close to the center of the carrier plate 20, and the second tuning mechanism 52 moving along the reverse direction of the third direction D3 is moving along the side away from the center of the carrier plate 20.

[0113] The tuning driving mechanism 60 is connected to the third tuning mechanism 53 and is configured to drive the third tuning mechanism 53 to move along the second direction D2 and its reverse direction. Wherein, the third tuning mechanism 53 moving along the reverse direction of the second direction D2 is moving along the side close to the center of the carrier plate 20, and the third tuning mechanism 53 moving along the second direction D2 is moving along the side away from the center of the carrier plate 20.

[0114] The tuning driving mechanism 60 is connected to the fourth tuning mechanism 54 and is configured to drive the fourth tuning mechanism 54 to move along the third direction D3 and its reverse direction. Wherein, the fourth tuning mechanism 54 moving along the reverse direction of the third direction D3 is moving along the side close to the center of the carrier plate 20, and the fourth tuning mechanism 54 moving along the third direction D3 is moving along the side away from the center of the carrier plate 20.

The first tuning mechanism 51 and the fifth tuning mechanism 55 are spaced apart along the third direction D3. The third tuning mechanism 53 and the sixth tuning mechanism 56 are spaced apart along the third direction D3.

[0117] It should be noted that the moving directions of the fifth tuning mechanism 55 and the first tuning mechanism 51 are the same. In other words, when the first tuning mechanism 51 moves along the side (the second direction D2) towards the center of the carrier plate 20 to tune the wafer, the fifth tuning mechanism 55 also moves along the side (the second direction D2) towards the center of the carrier plate 20 to tune the wafer. The first tuning mechanism 51 and the fifth tuning mechanism 55 can be used to tune the relative two ends of one side of the wafer, which can further prevent phenomena such as tilting of one side of the wafer, so as to improve the accuracy and stability of the tuning of the wafer by the tuning module 50.

[0118] The moving directions of the third tuning mechanism 53 and the sixth tuning mechanism 56 are the same. In other words, when the third tuning mechanism 53 moves along the side (the opposite direction of the second direction D2) towards the center of the carrier plate 20 to tune the wafer, the sixth tuning mechanism 56 also moves along the side (the opposite direction of the second direction D2) towards the center of the carrier plate 20 to tune the wafer. The third tuning mechanism 53 and the sixth tuning mechanism 56 can be used to tune the relative two ends of the other side of the wafer, which can further prevent phenomena such as tilting of the other side of the wafer, so as to improve the accuracy and stability of the tuning of the wafer by the tuning module 50.

[0176] The second flattening mechanism 42 includes a second lifting cylinder 421, a second fixing component 422, a third flattening member 423 and a fourth flattening member 424. The second lifting cylinder 421 is used to drive the second fixing component 422 to move along the first direction D1. The third flattening member 423 and the fourth flattening member 424 are arranged at both ends of the second fixing component 422, and the third flattening member 423 and the fourth flattening member 424 penetrate through the bottom plate 10 and the carrier plate 20. The third flattening member 423 and the fourth flattening member 424 are used to adsorb the wafer.

[0177] The first flattening member 413, the second flattening member 414, the third flattening member 423 and the fourth flattening member 424 are respectively arranged around the carrier plate 20. The first flattening member 413, the second flattening member 414, the third flattening member 423 and the fourth flattening member 424 can respectively adsorb the four corners of the wafer to improve the adsorption and flattening effect on the wafer.

[0178] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the suction cups 3223 of the first flattening member 413, the second flattening member 414, the third flattening member 423, and the fourth flattening member 424 are corrugated suction cups.

[0179] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 25 and Figure 26 , Figure 25 which are schematic structural diagrams of a rotating mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 26 which is a schematic structural diagram of a suction cup assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0180] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 32 includes a rotating assembly 321 and a suction cup assembly 322.

When the multiple suction cups 3223 adsorb the wafer, the multiple suction cups 3223 will move slightly in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 due to the vacuum pressure to fit the lower surface of the wafer to the suction cup body 3222 and flatten the wafer on the suction cup body 3222. Further, it should be noted that in this embodiment, when the suction cup 3223 sizing structure levels and sizes the circular wafer, there is no need to control the operation of the flattening module 40. The flattening of the wafer can be achieved only by the suction cup assembly 322 of the rotating mechanism 32, and there is no need to control the operation of the sizing module 50. The sizing of the wafer can be achieved only by driving the suction cup assembly 322 to rotate by the rotating assembly 321.

[0184] Furthermore, the wafer inspection device 1000 further includes a code scanning device 300, and the code scanning device 300 is used to scan the code of the wafer to identify the type of the wafer, so as to facilitate subsequent operations such as classifying and inspecting the wafer.

[0185] In the wafer inspection device 1000 provided by the present application, the carrier plate 20 is disposed on the bottom plate 10 and spaced from the bottom plate 10. The lifting and rotating module 30 is disposed on the bottom plate 10. The lifting and rotating module 30 includes the rotating mechanism 32 and the lifting mechanism 31.

The flattening module 40 is used to carry and flatten the wafer. The flattening module 40 can reciprocate along the first direction D1 to flatten the wafer on the carrier plate 20. The alignment module 50 is disposed on the bottom plate 10. The alignment module 50 includes a first alignment mechanism 51, a second alignment mechanism 52, a third alignment mechanism 53, and a fourth alignment mechanism 54.

The alignment module 50 can align the wafer on the carrier plate 20 to center the large-sized wafer, effectively correct the position of the wafer, and facilitate subsequent steps such as transporting and inspecting the wafer.

[0186] It should be noted that, please refer to Figures 1 to 27 , Figure 27 which is a flowchart of a flattening and aligning method provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0187] The present application also provides a flattening and aligning method, which is applied to the flattening and aligning structure 100. The flattening and aligning method includes steps S100, S200, S300, S400, S500, S600, S700, S800, S900. The detailed descriptions of steps S100, S200, S300, S400, S500, S600, S700, S800, S900 are as follows.

[0188] S100: Control the lifting and rotating module 30 to move from a first position to a second position along a first direction D1 to absorb and carry the wafer.

[0189] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 31 of the lifting and rotating module 30 moves along the first direction D1 and drives the rotating mechanism 32 to move, so that the rotating mechanism 32 on the lifting mechanism 31 can move to the bottom of the wafer and receive and adsorb the wafer.

[0190] S200: Control the lifting and rotating module 30 to move to a third position in the opposite direction of the first direction D1.

[0191] It should be noted that when the lifting and rotating module 30 moves to the third position in the opposite direction of the first direction D1, the distance between the wafer on the lifting and rotating module 30 and the carrier plate 20 is about 5 mm.

[0192] The rotating mechanism 32 moves to the third position in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 to drive the wafer carried on the rotating mechanism 32 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction D1, so as to shorten the distance between the wafer and the supporting plate 20, thereby facilitating the subsequent leveling mechanism to rise and absorb the wafer.

[0193] S300 : Control the suction and leveling module 40 to move along the first direction D1 to a first suction and leveling position to absorb the wafer on the lifting and rotating module 30 .

[0194] Specifically, the suction module 40 rises along the first direction D1 and abuts against the wafer, so that the suction module 40 can absorb the wafer.

[0195] S400 : Control the lifting and rotating module 30 to move to the first position in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 after the leveling module 40 absorbs the wafer.

[0196] Specifically, the lifting and rotating module 30 descends in the opposite direction of the first direction and moves back to the initial position of the lifting and rotating module 30 .

[0197] S500 : Control the suction module 40 to move from the first suction position to a second suction position in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 , so as to suction and level the wafer on the carrier plate 20 .

[0198] Specifically, the flattening module 40 moves in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 to the second flattening position to place the wafer on the carrier plate 20. At this time, the first flattening member 413, the second flattening member 414, the third flattening member 423, and the fourth flattening member 424 of the flattening module 40 respectively adsorb the four sides of the wafer, and then flatten the wafer relative to the carrier plate 20, so as to flatten the wafer on the carrier plate 20. It should be noted that flattening the wafer on the carrier plate 20, in other words, means flattening the wafer relative to the carrier plate 20. In other words, it means making the wafer as parallel as possible to the carrier plate 20 to improve the flatness of the wafer surface, and then facilitating the subsequent barcode scanning device 300 to scan the pattern on the wafer to identify features such as the type and size of the wafer.

[0199] S600: Control the barcode scanning device 300 to scan the wafer after the wafer is flattened on the carrier plate 20.

[0200] Among them, the barcode scanning device 300 scans the pattern on the wafer to identify features such as the type and size of the wafer, which is convenient for subsequent specific electrical performance detection of the wafer.

[0201] S700: Control the alignment mechanism of the alignment module 50 to move to the first alignment position along the side close to the lifting and rotating module 30.

[0202] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the alignment mechanism of the alignment module 50 moves to the first alignment position along the side close to the lifting and rotating module 30. In other words, the first alignment mechanism 51, the second alignment mechanism 52, the third alignment mechanism 53, and the fourth alignment mechanism 54 of the alignment module 50 all move along the side close to the center of the carrier plate 20, and move to a position where the distance between the first alignment mechanism 51, the second alignment mechanism 52, the third alignment mechanism 53, the fourth alignment mechanism 54 and the wafer is about 4 mm.

[0203] S800: Control the flattening module 40 to release the wafer after the alignment mechanism moves to the first alignment position.

[0204] Among them, after the alignment mechanism of the alignment module 50 moves to the first alignment position along the side close to the lifting and rotating module 30, the flattening module 40 then releases the wafer. Some structures of the alignment mechanism can be used to prevent large-scale warping of the four sides of the wafer.

[0205] S900: Control the alignment mechanism of the alignment module 50 to move to the second alignment position for aligning the wafer.

[0206] The setting mechanism of the setting module 50 moves along the side close to the lifting and rotating module 30 to the second setting position. In other words, the first setting mechanism 51, the second setting mechanism 52, the third setting mechanism 53, and the fourth setting mechanism 54 of the setting module 50 all move along the side close to the center of the carrier plate 20 and move to the position where the first setting mechanism 51, the second setting mechanism 52, the third setting mechanism 53, and the fourth setting mechanism 54 abut against the wafer. The first setting mechanism 51, the second setting mechanism 52, the third setting mechanism 53, and the fourth setting mechanism 54 are respectively arranged around the wafer and abut against the wafer to limit the wafer within the setting space formed by the first setting mechanism 51, the second setting mechanism 52, the third setting mechanism 53, and the fourth setting mechanism 54, so as to realize the setting of the wafer.
